Episode Details

A $50 billion bridge between Connecticut and Long Island might sound like a traffic savior, but experts warn it could just make congestion worse—thanks to “induced demand.” While supporters tout it as the fix for I-95 gridlock, transportation analysts say expanding roads just invites more drivers, and bottlenecks will remain where the bridge ends. Still, some argue it could boost regional resilience during disasters. For now, state DOT is focused on upgrading existing infrastructure, not building new mega-projects.
